Trailing Fort Pierce Central by six points with six minutes to go in a District 8-9A semifinal Wednesday night left the Treasure Coast High School's boys basketball team's dream season on the verge of unraveling.

It didn't.

Reggie Prevalon's 3-point goal ignited a 25-9 run to finish the game as the Titans prevailed 72-62 to advance to their second consecutive district final.

"They just stayed positive," Treasure Coast coach Pat Kelly said. "All the way through to the end, I thought they were looking to get stops. We held them scoreless for four minutes in the fourth quarter."

Donnavan Bonilla finished with a game-high 21 points — eight during the closing run — and three steals for Treasure Coast (24-1).

Tyrec Thompson added 15 points and five rebounds while Chris Brown had 13 points, four rebounds and three assists.

Calvin King had 12 points and five rebounds, and Elijah Williams had four rebounds.

The Titans made 23 of 29 free throws to win their eighth consecutive game while Central was just 7 of 15.

The teams were tied at 45 through three quarters before Fort Pierce Central (15-9) pulled ahead.

Darvion Blackshear hit four 3-pointers and scored 12 of his 18 points in the third quarter for the Cobras, who last reached a district final in 2014.

Vince Ventulan, who also had four 3-pointers, and Dylan Torello scored 14 points apiece.

Treasure Coast, a program-best 46-5 over the past two seasons, will host Vero Beach (18-6) at 7 p.m. Friday for the district title.

Both teams advance to regional quarterfinals next week.
